Everyone struggling to raise a family making minimum wage already knows that.

People raising a Family should have a career with decent wages. A child with their first job should be making minimum wage. 2 different sets of people.

Lol. In the early '80s a college student could fully pay for tuition with a minimum wage job. This idea that minimum wage is only for 16-17 year olds is revisionist history designed to excuse how badly the middle class is being screwed.

YOU do NO work. #BuildTheWallNow You have one around your home. Why???? #WomenForTrump #IStandWithPresidentTrump #MAGA45 #Trump2020Landslide

If I have worked at a job for 10 years and earned raises and respect from my bosses for doing a good job. Somebody that just starts should not get the same pay as me.

Benefits are based on length of job. Pay is based on experience, knowledge, negotiation, etc. If they top you in any way, from day 1 to your 10 years, pay should reflect that. All experience matters. Personally, I hate that business model.

You're right and someone that has five years experience at a different job comes to where I work with 10 years experience at that job doesn't deserve to start off at the same pay I have. They should start higher than someone with no experience but not at the top.

Why this act has no feet. Pay is based on experience and time on the job. A beginner is not going to be paid the same salary as a 20 year veteran and should not be. You have to earn it. This is not a participation award activity. Also some new workers do not always work out.

We need to have affirmative action so that we have more women in hard manual construction job, train rail repair, firefighters, front lines in the military etc. and they should get equal pay.

Word! They are searching for a government solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

I agree. Equal pay for equal work.

This is why we formed Unions. This is why the sit down strike starting in Flint, Michigan changed employment and safety for the working class across America. This is why L. U. 1 and the founders of the IBEW made my life better. This is why I honor the ones that made this possible

The unions don’t have much to do with what you get paid, that is determined when you negotiate your salary. The Union can get you pay raises but it doesn’t mean you will make the same money as the person working next to you.

Larry, I guess I am not understanding your point that well. The collective bargaining agreement has everything to do with what you get paid. A Journeyman fitter gets X, a journeyman spark gets X. Equal work, equal pay. In GM, each represented position has a bargained wage.

Where I work there are pay bands, my pay band is 23 to 40 dollars an hour and HR will make you an offer between that. Then you get the negotiated raise each year and a progression raise of 75 cents a year until you top out at 40.

Damn, our wages are negotiated in the collective bargaining agreement. Annual raises are set in each contract cycle. That’s a different animal you are working. Not at all what I am used to...
